O R D E R
Petitioners are accused in Crime No.1683/2018
of Angamaly Police Station for offences punishable
under Sections 498A, 341, 323, 506(i) read with 34
IPC. The allegation of the prosecution is that
the petitioners have harassed the de facto
complainant in connection with demand for dowry.
Crime was registered and apprehending arrest,
petitioners seek bail.
2. It is reported that pending the
proceedings, parties have settled the dispute in a
mediation in O.P.No.1892/2018 and M.C.No.20/2018.
A copy of the mediation settlement is produced
before this Court. The parties have agreed to
settle the present crime and to quash the criminal
proceedings by filing an application under Section
482 Cr.P.C.
In the light of the settlement arrived at
between the parties and in the nature of
allegations, I am inclined to grant the benefit of
pre-arrest bail to the petitioners.
